About Sandy River Distillery, Inc.

Group tasting whiskey in a rustic distillery setting.

Private Barrel Selection

Sandy River Distillery


Your Group. Your Barrel. Your Label.


Experience the rare opportunity to select your own single barrel of bourbon directly from the rickhouse at Sandy River Distillery.


Our Private Barrel Selection Program invites bourbon clubs, restaurants, retailers, collectors, and corporate groups to taste and select a unique barrel that will be bottled exclusively for their organization.


Each barrel represents a one-of-a-kind whiskey — shaped by time, wood, and the character of our Virginia distillery.


Wooden barrels stacked in a rustic storage rack inside a warehouse.

The Experience

Your barrel selection takes place at our distillery in the countryside of Prince Edward County, where guests step into the rickhouse and taste bourbon directly from the barrel.


Every private selection includes a guided tasting led by our team, allowing your group to compare several barrels before choosing the one that best reflects your taste.


Your Experience Includes the following: 

• Private guided distillery tour

• Tasting of multiple single barrels

• Barrel thieving experience inside the rickhouse

• Education on mash bills and flavor profiles

• One complimentary cocktail per guest

• Custom label consultation

• Signed barrel head for your group


Reservation Fee: $600 per group

Guests Included: Up to 10 people


The reservation fee is fully credited toward your barrel purchase.
